The State Museum of Pennsylvania Announces Finalists for 54th Annual “Art of the State” Exhibition
Harrisburg, PA – Finalists have been announced for Art of the State 2021.
Art of the State is an annual juried exhibition that has been showcasing the work of Pennsylvania’s artists at The State Museum of Pennsylvania since 1968. The body of art that has been exhibited reflects over a half-century of creative endeavor in the Keystone State. Through the years, artists have shared their ideas and engaged viewers in the categories of painting, photography, craft, sculpture, and work on paper.
The exhibition will open to the public on Sunday, September 26 and run through January 2, 2022. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, award winners of the 54th annual exhibit will be announced via social media at 12:00 PM on the exhibit’s opening day.
Award winners will be posted on Facebook and Twitter. An exhibit catalogue pdf, and programming announcements can be accessed on the Art of the State 2021 landing page.
